Community-Engaged Use of Cultural Narratives to Create HIV Prevention Stories for African American Women
Authentic stories harvested and produced from and for a culture-specific population is a critical consideration for narrative health promotion
The Relationship Between HIV Risk, High-Risk Behavior, Religiosity, and Spirituality Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
The Relationship of Religiosity, Spirituality, Substance Abuse, and Depression Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
It Isn’t All About Language
Purpose: Little is known about barriers that Latinas in the United States face in preventing unintended pregnancies beyond those of language and cost. This study examined factors inhibiting contraceptive use among 18- to 30-year-old Latinas in the Midwest. Method: Individual interviews ( N = 31) were conducted in Spanish with Latinas residing across the state. The interview protocol included questions about contraceptives and unintended pregnanci…
Applying Sabido's entertainment-education serial drama strategy to serve local radio audiences in the United States and Japan
Miguel Sabido's entertainment-education (EE) serial drama strategy has been applied effectively in several developing countries. However, in media-saturated industrialised countries, the full application of his serial drama strategy and EE practices has been rare, due to a number of challenges. This article 1) presents the step-by-step processes involved in the design and implementation of two localised EE radio serial drama projects: BodyLove in…
Smoking, Sociodemographic Determinants, and Stress in the Alabama Black Belt
PURPOSE: In the Alabama Black Belt, poverty is high, and the educational level is low. Studies have found increased tobacco use among individuals exposed to high levels of stress. Few studies have been conducted in this region to measure smoking status, its sociodemographic determinants, and how smoking status relates to stressful environmental conditions. METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 1,387 individuals. FINDINGS: Approximate…
Development and Validation of an Instrument to Assess Perceived Social Influence on Health Behaviors
Assessment of social influence on health behavior is often approached through a situational context. The current study adapted an existing, theory-based instrument from another content domain to assess Perceived Social Influence on Health Behavior (PSI-HB) among African Americans, using an individual difference approach. The adapted instrument was found to have high internal reliability (α = .81-.84) and acceptable testretest reliability ( r = .6…
Development and Validation of Instruments to Assess Potential Religion-Health Mechanisms in an African American Population
The health disparities that negatively affect African Americans are well-documented; however, there are also many sociocultural factors that may play a protective role in health outcomes. Religious involvement is noted to be important in the African American community and to have a positive association with health outcomes. However, few studies have explained why this relationship exists. This article reports on the development and validation of …
Effectiveness Evaluation of the N-O-T Smoking Cessation Program for Adolescents
The Theory of Reasoned Action and Intention to Seek Cancer Information
Objectives : To evaluate the applicability of the theory of reasoned action to explain men's intentions to seek prostate cancer information. Methods : Three hundred randomly selected African American men participated in telephone interviews. Correlational and regression analyses were conducted to examine relationships among measures. Results : All relationships were significant in regression analyses. Attitudes and subjective norm were significan…
Evaluation of an Intervention for Hospitalized African American Smokers
A hospital-offered bedside intervention offers promise in reaching underserved smokers with effective, though limited, cessation assistance
Transtheoretical Model of Change Among Hospitalized African American Smokers
Although results with this specialized sample are not generalizable, they add to the evidence that transtheoretical model of change variables are robust across populations
Home Remediation for Respiratory Health
This study examined the feasibility of conducting home remediation interventions that would lower allergen levels among low-income, inner city households in Birmingham, Alabama. The primary objectives were to use established neighborhood infrastructure to identify households for remediation, and to conduct inspection and remediation activities to potentially prevent or control asthma symptoms related to indoor air environmental contaminants. This…
Aids Knowledge among Black Drug Users
This study examined the reliability of an inventory measuring AIDS-related knowledge among 553 black drug users. Data were collected from a socially high-risk community in Birmingham, Alabama. The KR-20 reliability scores were computed from the inventory for each drug-use group. The KR-20 reliabilities ranged from .39 to .57. These findings may suggest that the inconsistent reports of the predictive power of AIDS knowledge among drug users report…
Assessing Adherence to Asthma Medication and Inhaler Regimens
Poor adherence to recommended regimens is a substantial problem in the clinical management of adults with asthma and other chronic diseases. Research on adherence assessment is complicated by methodological difficulties including limitations associated with the use of self-report measures. In this study, psychometric techniques were used to analyze two self-report scales for assessing adherence to recommended medication and inhaler use regimens i…
